Excavation & Exterior Drainage Across West Central Missouri
The 'Excavation' in our name is not decoration. We run our own equipment for footing exposure, exterior drain tile, French drains, trenching and grade work, for residential, commercial and industrial properties. One crew digs, drains and repairs, so nothing gets lost between contractors. Warrensburg, Knob Noster, Sedalia, Clinton and the farms in between.
When the fix is on the outside of the wall.
Exterior drainage protects a foundation by intercepting water before it ever reaches the wall. That means digging: exposing the footing, laying drain tile, trenching discharge lines and backfilling so the grade falls away from the house.
Because we do the excavation ourselves, a waterproofing or foundation job never waits on another contractor's schedule, and the dig is done by people who know what the wall underneath needs.
We measure the floor, check the crawl space or basement, trace the water, and hand you a written scope. Nothing to sign on the spot. No trip charge anywhere on our route.

Drain tile, gravel and fabric installed to carry water away from the wall.
Backfill and grade
Soil replaced and sloped away from the house, with the surface restored.
Sealing the wall while it's open
An exposed footing is the right time to waterproof. See foundation waterproofing.
Yard-level water problems
Regrading and downspout work without the deep dig. See drainage correction & grading.
Priced by the length of the run and the depth of the dig.
Footing depth, trench length, soil conditions and what is in the way all move the number. The written estimate after the free site visit lists each item and includes a realistic schedule.
Our written findings are the format lenders, buyers and sellers ask for. We turn them around quickly for closings and PCS moves.

Excavation questions we hear most.
Do you do commercial and industrial sites?
Yes. We serve residential, commercial and industrial clients throughout Central Missouri.
Will the yard be destroyed?
We dig as narrow as the job allows, protect what we can, and backfill and grade when we are done. We tell you up front what will be disturbed.
Do you mark utilities first?
Always. Utilities are located before any excavation starts.
Is the work warrantied?
Yes. The written estimate spells out the warranty before any work begins.
